I will be going out of town for four days. If I feed them a bit more than usual before I leave will that be good or should I get one of those feeders that dispenses food? Thanks,

I dont think its a good idea to feed them alot before you go.. You could get a food dispenser if you like, but i reckon they'd be ok without if its only 4 days.

No need to feed any more before you go, this will just mean more waste in the water which wont be good if you are away!
Just feed as normal before you go and feed as normal when you are back. For 4 days they will be fine. I have left fish for 2 weeks without any problems before. |
